Crossbeam vs Aleph Alpha

About

Crossbeam is a Philadelphia-based ecosystem intelligence company that enables B2B companies to securely compare their customer and prospect data with partner companies to identify shared customers, overlapping prospects, and co-sell opportunities without sharing raw data. The platform creates a "data clean room" where both parties define what populations to share — customers, open opportunities, free trial users — and Crossbeam returns only the overlapping records and aggregate counts, never exposing the underlying data to the other party. Sales teams use these account overlaps to identify which prospects are already customers of a technology partner, enabling warm partner introductions that convert at dramatically higher rates than cold outreach. Crossbeam has built a network of over 30,000 companies sharing data on the platform, creating a network effect where each new partner connection reveals new overlap opportunities. Founded in 2018, Crossbeam raised over $100M from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, and FirstMark Capital, and competes with Reveal and PartnerStack in the partner ecosystem intelligence market.
